I wonder what I've been running then?

No, but you can use ez_setup.

Go to http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py and save the content 
of that file as ez_setup.py (cut and paste into your favourite editor may 
be the simplest way) then run it with your chosen Python. It will find and 
install the appropriate version of easy install.
